  • You may arrive later than the scheduled time for morning drop off, however; expect that the car-loop will be more congested. We appreciate your patience. Students may not exit a vehicle until a staff member is present.
  • Hang Tags must be displayed during the afternoon pick-up process to ensure you are entered into our iDismiss app for check in. This is how our teachers are notified to send your child to dismissal.
  • Elementary dismissal: Parents may arrive at 3:00 pm (2:00 pm on Wednesday) to be checked in at the main gate. Dismissal time is 3:15 pm (2:15 pm on Wednesday).

All students are expected to be in their classroom and ready to learn by 8:26 am.

The gate closes at 8:26am. Students who arrive at 8:26am or later must be dropped off at the front office. For safety reasons and to prevent damage to your vehicle, do not try to enter campus through the gate after 8:26am. Students dropped off at or after 8:30 am are considered tardy.
